Even Dad gets in on the action! Which would be me, actually. Which is why I choose not to think about that (slightly creepy) part as much as the rest, with all the youthful invigoration and all, which is obviously where I fit in.
Just to be clear, and because some people have given me that quizical look in person, I do not intend to ride around on my wheeliebar wheels, pretending that I am actually wheelie'ing. To be clear.
I guess on one hand I can kinda maybe understand you wondering this. And then on the other, I'm sorta disturbed that there are those of you are out there envisioning this to be my goal. Like if I died in my sleep tonight, this might be the one big thing that you remember about me and might, heaven forbid, use to memorialize me at my funeral, during the "if anyone would like to speak" portion of the service, when much to everyone's surprise, that one wildcard (you) steps up to the microphone.

A blonde surfer wig maybe? They sell them at Elephant Bicycles.
All this reminds me of the homemade chopper bike I had as a kid. It had an extended fork, monkey hangers and a banana seat with a sissy bar. All I had to do was to lean back on the sissy bar and I could wheelie for blocks. It's easily the childhood bike that I miss the most.
Continued luck with your project.
Thought you might be interested to know that someone's going to be fat biking to the south pole.

Looks like a great recipe for a whole lot of bad judgement.
I approve.
Danny, I promise.
Andy, yup, that's exactly my goal - wheeling for blocks. Or one, even.
Michael, yeah, I've heard a little about this guy, but haven't really delved into his deal yet. Thanks for the link.
bikewrider, agreed.
